Looking for Toner.

A friend of mine wants to buy a printer.  She saw an offer for an HP
(Office Jet?) 5610 - all in one printer/copier/fax/scanner.  It works
out just a little more expensive than a printer.
However other points may make a standard printer more worth buying:

I have a MP 180 which seems to run a cleaning cycle every time I turn it on.
I do not think this is necessary. I read somewhere to not disconnect it from
the power but this does not stop it. Any way to have it clean only when I
want it to?

Inkjet design took a wrong turn, actually several of them.  My 20-year-
old HP Deskjet runs fine (with several roller cleanings); my 2-year-
old Canon self destructed with light to normal use.  Increasing
complexity, increasing cost per page, declining mechanical reliability

I am considering ordering a CIS system (continuous ink system) from
the Kyson company
(http://www.kysonusa.eznet.biz/) for my Canon Ip4500. I'm getting
mighty tired of paying $15-$17 per tiny cartridge for this otherwise

I have a dual boot win98/ win2k PC and I bought a new Brother Color
Laser HL 4070cdw. I mostly print from win 2k but I have one old dos
dased program that I need to print from occasionally. There is no
driver from Brother for Windows 98. I tried setting it up as "generic"

I need a driver for Windows XP for the Panasonic KX-P3124 dot matrix
printer that can access the internal fonts. The stock driver in
Windows XP works but prints very S-L-O-W-L-Y as it does not access
internal fonts (to my knowledge) and prints text as graphics.

I am running my Toshiba laptop on a wireless hook-up using a linksys
router but have been printing to my HP C4180 printer using a hard cable.
I'm sure there is a way to print wirelessly, but can't seem to find the
instructions for setting it up.

This is the first time I have tried to scan on it. It's fairly new to me.
Printing and copying works fine. I get a message on the printer unit screen
saying .. Downloading Application List..
On my screen I get the message ...Scan was not successful .. with several

I'm back...
I was wondering if anyone had some suggestions for a network capable
scanner, fax, printer combo.  But, is it possible to get a black and
white one with dual sided printing?  I also want to be able to scan from

This probably won't be an easy one so i'll accept all suggestions.
I've got an old school dot matrix printer, (oki microline 393) it
works great with the exception of when it prints the letter q, or more
appropraitely doesn't print it.

I was disturbed to find that the carts which my Epson R300 claimed were
empty (it wouldn't do anything until I swapped) still seemed to have
substantial ink left in them (I shook them and heard liquid slopping
around).

I have a Canon IP4200 and I refill my carts
Recently I have noticed that when handling [to cut] glossy photo paper
printed for a DVD cover, that my fingers are covered in black, but no
other colour

Hp has 3 printers that print on dvd/cds.the hp d5160,d5360 and a all in

know what the c5280 takes.Has any one here in the usa have any experance
with these printers. I think the print heads are built in the ...

I'm running an HP C4180 which will take either a standard color ink
cartridge (HP95) or a special Photo cartridge (HP99), "for brighter more
vivid photos". I just noticed that the HP99 contains almost twice as
much ink(13ml) as the HP 95 (7ml), and there is only about $1.00
